Kurzbeschreibung
For Zaiba Malik, growing up in Bradford in the '70s and '80s certainly has its moments - staying up all night during Ramadan with her father; watching mad Mr Aziz searching for his goat during Eid; dancing along to Top of the Pops (so long as no-one's watching). And, of course, there's her mother - whether she's writing another ingratiating letter to the Queen or referring to Tom Jones as 'Thumb Jone'. But Zaiba's story is also one of anxiety and seemingly irreconcilable opposites. Growing up she is constantly torn between two identities: 'British' and 'Muslim'. Alienated at school and confused at home, the racism she encounters as a child mirrors the horrors she experiences at the hands of Bangladeshi interrogators as a journalist years later. Five years after the 7/7 attacks galvanized debates about Muslim-British identity, We Are A Muslim, Please is a stirring and enchanting memoir. We see, through Zaiba's childhood eyes, the poignancy of growing up in a world whose prejudices, contradictions and ambiguities are at once distressing and utterly captivating.

Don't judge before you read
2. März 2011
Format:Kindle Edition
When I bought this book, I was a bit sceptical about the content to be honest. I thought here was another run-of-the-mill production that portrays that I and my belief are correct and the rest of the world should know why I'm correct. However, Zaiba's potrayel of her life's experience puts in a very different perspective. Her story evolves around her growing up in Bradford in the 70s when on one-side UK was still trying to come to terms with new influx of immigrants from the sub-continent and on the other, the British Muslim identify had sown its seeds in the United Kingdom. What makes this book more interesting than its peer collection is that Zaiba narrated her life as it came, her constant battle between British and Muslim, her growing up in an English country without necessarily being integrated into the English society. She highlights the confusion of the identity of the new generation of British Muslims and their predicament on how to integrate to the mainstream British society. Anyways, the rest is for people to read. But before I end, the section that I liked the most, was Zaiba's depiction of the self-proclaimed judges for preserving the virtues of Islam and how they, so casually pass on judgement on others for not being a true muslim like the .... great work Zaiba
